This book begins by addressing Christianity's theological position in the wake of recent bereaved loss and how theology must continue in response to this and other challenges. The author argues that theology should be considered a science that serves to understand, through historical and philosophical methodologies, the concept of God. Theology, the author argues, is a fact-based, rational approach, and its historical arm, the examination of the development of religion, proves that religion is a universal concept among the peoples of the world. However, the author's true aim is to move beyond mere historical accounting into the realm of philosophical theology and the objective understanding of God's nature. The author sees this as a fundamental goal and the most significant function of theology in general, an understanding of the ultimate and eternal truth of the existence of an omnipotent being. Throughout the text, the author grapples with the difficulty of understanding this concept and the issues that arise when seeking an objective, rational, and systematic understanding of the nature of God. The book takes on the formidable task of grounding the concept of God in historical fact through philosophical inquiry, and by doing so, hopes to establish theology's place as a science while inviting the reader to engage in this same philosophical quest.
